How Chocolate Is Made,

Chocolate. said a confectioner. lis
made from beans that grow in pods on
the cacao tree. These trees are numer-
Gus in the West Indies, and it is from
there we get our supply. The beans are
brought hither in the pod. and put
through a regular manufacturing pro-
cess TO produce the chocolate cakes that
we Use. The first operation is the break
ing Of the husks and separating them
from the kernels by a blast of air. Then
the beans are ground with sugar by re-
volving granite grindstones. The stones
are heated, and the oil contained in the
bean makes the mass adhere and be-
come a thick paste. This pulp is now
partly dried and the air bubbles are
squeezed out in a press, and it is trans
ferred TO the cooling tables. Here it il
beaten and worked by hand to produc.
an even texture and a fine grain. Then
it is placed in molds, a blast Of cold air is
turned op, and in a few moments the
beautiful glossy tablets are finished.
The British government has recently
directed that chocolate be served two or
three times a week in their army and
navy. In confectionery the Parisians ex-
coed us in the number Of preparations Of
chocolate. We use It in its natural
flavor only, while they mix essences and
other flavors with it, until there is no
end to the combinations that they pro-
duce. In England much of the choco-
late is adulterated. Some recent tests
detected flour, starch, potato. lard, chalk,
bran and old sea biscuit in specimens

Daniel Webster took great pains to be
on friendly terms with his rural neigh
bors at Franklin, n. H., and at Marsh
field, Mass. One of his Marshfield neigh
bors thus related his acquaintance with
the great expounder: II was out in my
dooryard one morning before breakfast
last summer, and saw a gentleman in
my coward. He apoligized for his in
trusion. as he termed IL, by saying, i
got out of my carriage. sir, TO look at
your barn cellar. | am taken with its
plan and structure. and thought | might
gain an idea that l might put in practice
at home. Ny name is Webster Of Marsh
field. am taking a look round among
nv neighbors to see if l can learn IN
thing about farming oh. Mr.. Web
ster! My name is Collamore. am
happy to see you, Mr.. Webster; won't
you walk in, sir?' Not today, sir, If
you will excuse me. But. Mr.. Cola
more, we are neighbors, not very far
apart, and ] should he happy to see you
at my house. | am a farmer, in my
way, which is not so good as that CT my
more experienced neighbors, but we may
find something with which to while away
a little time on my place. Come down,
Mr.. Collamore, and see me, and bring
Mrs. Collamore and your neighbors-
please to invite them-tackle up, and all
Of you come down some pleasant morn
ing and spend the day."
So Mr.. Collamore, his wife and neigh
bors went down. Mr.. Webster led them
all over his farm till they got an appetite
for dinner. II was in that a when
-four was so high. Mr.. Webster attended
to the wants Of his guests at table, and
then called upon the servant for a piece
of bread. He took the bread. r~enlarking
in an old fashioned style: Il tell my
woman that -four is so high we must not
buy only a pillow bier of flour at a time,
nowadays" The idea of this allusion to
old fashioned times was TO his guests very
ludicrous, and wa one of the incidents
they alluded to when they spoke with
each other Of their visit to Marshfeld.-

A Town In the Tyrol.

The people are pious: they are very
fond Of outward shows and ceremonies.
and the men religiously observe the feast
days. Of which there are about two a
week. On these days the women work
harder than usual, while the men occupy
themselves with playing cards and drink
ing wine. Very large quantities Of wine
are consumed by the peasants. DIR. Pircher
IS my authority for saying that many
peasants who never drink a drop Of water,
and drink far too much wine, live TO a
good old age. They eat heartily and
heavily; five meals a day are required to
appease their appetites; at each meal
smoked meat, maize and black bread are
eaten. The bread is baked four times q
year, so it is generally stale and satisfy.
ing. In speech the people are Germans,
and they show no trace Of the Italian
blood and characteristics which are con.
~spicuous in other parts Of South Tyrol
II is probable, however. that the stock il
very mixed, as the people of many nations
have successfully occupied this part Of
Europe.-London Correspondence,

styles In Conversation.

There is a fashion in conversation
among women. Last winter, whenever
there was a gathering Of the gentler sex,
the kitchen women, who had never thrust
their delicate hands into dough or red
dened their fair complexion before an
oven, talked like experts in the art Of
cooking. 1t vas the result Of the fash
ionable cooking classes for young la
dies. Some years ago the topic was mu-
sic. IL was the irt season OF German
opera at the Metropolitan opera house,
and 1t was deemed essential that every
woman should exhibit some knowledge
OF the subject. This year the topic Is
outdoor amusements, and the man who
knows IL not Is dumb In the presence of
fashionable womanhood.-Hotel Gazstts.

Little drink should be allowed at meals
to weaken the digestive fluids. These
are the saliva, gastric juice and bile. Bile
is not found in a healthy stomach; If it
is elected in vomiting, il shows that the
action Of the stomach is inverted. Knowl-
edge Of this would save many from swal-
lowing emetics and cathartics TO rid the
stomach Of bile.
Copious draughts Of water should be
taken between meals to furnish the
stomach material necessary for the di-
gestive fluids. Water drinking an hour
before meals should constitute a habit
from infancy to old age Its quantity
must be regulated by the condition Of
each person. Lean people usually drink
very little and are large eaters, while fat
persons are apt to eat little and drink
much. IL the order be changed, IL will,
In most cases, make the lean grow fat,
and the fat people will have the comfort
Of seeing their own shadows grow less. -

Experiments Made by = scientist-The
Atmosphere of tbe Heirloom.

Atmosphere Of the Bedroom.
Primitive and Oriental people lie on the
ground or on a carpet, bed, or mattress
which is laid on the ground. Modern
western civilization is not satisfied with
this; it demands bedsteads, with legs
that shall raise the sleeper well above the
floor level. Is any sound scientific justi-
tication Of this latter practice discover
able? | think there is, and that my ex-
PLANTATION will prove that the question is
not so frivolous as it may at first sight
appear.
A very interesting paper was read be-
fore the Society Of Arts on March % by
DIR. Percy +. FARMLAND, in which, among
other matters, he described experiments
made by himself and Others. proving that
microbia, pathogenic and otherwise, do
not remain suspended in still air; they
fall much more freely than might be sup
posed from what is known concerning in
fection by poison germs floating in the
air. Hesse's experiments show this
clearly. koch's method of testing for
the existence of microbia in the air was
to expose dishes or strips of glass con-
tanning gelatinous solid films. On these
the microhia fall and find abundant nutri-
ment, and multiply accordingly, forming
colonies that may be counted, and may
be examined with the microscope.
But this only indicates the numbers
falling on a given area, not the numbers
contained in a given measure Of air. To
determine these. Hesse used tubes about
three feet long and one and one-half
inches diameter, internally coated with
the sterile nutritious gelatine peptone. A
measured quantity of air was drawn
slowly through the tubes, when it was
discovered that the colonies were all at
the bottom Of the tube, and not evenly
distributed even over the bottom, but
were O or less crowded together at
the end where the air entered, and more
and more sparsely distributed further in
ward until the latter half of the tube was
almost entirely free. The microbia had
all fallen down in the course Of the short
journey Of the air. The mold colonies
spread all along the tube, showing that
fungus germs float in the air, while bac-
terra fall.
Other experiments show that in an or
binary apartment the questionable or
ganisms are more and more abundant,
descending from ceiling TO floor. There
fore the raising of our beds well above
the level of the floor places us in a better
atmosphere, so far as these microbia are
concerned, than il we slept as in the east.
This is especially the case if the air of the
room is still, a. is usually the case in tte
bedrooms Of these ATTITUDES. In rooms Of
he old oriental pattern, without window
glass, the case is somewhat different. II
may be supposed that, carbonic acid
being heavier than air, there is much
more near the floor than a little higher.
Owing to the diffusibility of the gas this,
however, is not the case in any measur.
able degree. The carbonic acid we ex-
pire gets an upward start on leaving our
lungs; the mixture expired is, except in
hot weather, specifically lighter than that
which we inspire on account Of its higher
temperaturs.-Mattieu Williams in The
Gentleman's Magazine.

An Epileptlc COLONY.

A short time ago l visited the Bethel
Epileptic colony at Bielefeld, in the
province Of Westphalia, Germany. Ii is
now nearly twenty years since Pastor
Won Bodelschwingh, = Lutheran clergy
man, purchased a farmhouse, and with
four epileptics established here a colony
which, for nobility of conception and
mccessful results, has nowhere an equal.
From this small beginning there has
been a gradual growth until today there
are e s25 epileptic patients, and more
than sixty houses upon the farm. The
founder had long considered the unhappy
lot of these unfortunates, who are usually
burdens to their families. against whom
the public schools are closed, whom none
will employ in shops or apprentices to
trades, and who are often necessarily de-
prived of social intercourse with their
fellows by the nature of their malady, or
find an asylum only in institutions for
idiots OF insane. Ii seemed TO him FEAST
Bile TO create a refuge where these suffer-
ers might be cured, if durable, might
have a home if recovery were impossi-
BILE, might learn trades, and the great
majority become educated, useful and
industrious citizens. Visitors are deeply
impressed with the happiness, content
ment and prosperity everywhere appar-
ent among the inhabitants of this little
epileptic world. No longer an expert
ment, it nswer the previously nan
swerable objections to such aggregations.
Since its foundation more than 1000 pa
tents have been treated here, more than
$50 cured, and more than $50 been dis
charged improved.
The employments in this institution
are numerous and varied. Work not
only ameliorates the mental and physical
condition Of ~epileptics, but the incurably
afflicted are provided with occupations
which they are not permitted elsewhere
to follow. A school furnishes instruction
to some $50 pupils Of both sexes. All
branches are tauEht.-Dr. Frederick
Peterson in Medical Journal.

The elephant las been described by
hunters as having three cries. A quiet
study. of him in his undisturbed home life
shows that his variety of utterance is
very great. A shrill blowing through the
trunk. in some treatises described as a cry
of pleasure. is IN Ceylon, at any rate, the
CRY of rage and defiance. Trunk is a
word derived from the French trompe,
and means the trumpet: in old ~illustra-
tons an elephant may be seer pictured
having the end of his trunk trumpet
shaped. A groan from the throat ex-
presses suffering. Atwitter with the lips.
defined by the syllable .'prut," is the low
word of alarm which elephants pass from
one to another when anything unusual
appears in the forest.
A night alarm. which hurries them be-
yond this note Of caution, excites them to
produce a booming like the sound Of an
empty tun struck by a mallet. One OBJ
server believes this noise to be made by
the elephant beating on his side with his
proboscis. Another gentleman states that
he has seen the sound produced by the
animal striking the ground forcibly with
the point of the trunk, which is then
raised and pushed in the direction of the
threatened danger, as il to detect its ma
ture by the sense Of smell. When the
sound is heard in the woods, believing
and trumpeting are usually mingled with
il. 1t is remarkable that while an ele-
plant disturbed in the jungle will burst
away with a rush that seems to bear all
down before him. the noise often sinks
into absolute stiffness, and the animal
steals quietly away, carrying his enor-
mou weight without a sound, almost
without leaving the trace of disturbed
foliage behind. Philadelphia Call.

Later the general list became firm, while
decided strength was shown in Northwest
